Happy New Year to all! If you just got engaged, please accept my congratulations. Enjoy your engagement. There’s no time like it. And remember to leave plenty of time to spend with your spouse-to-be, even while you are busy planning your wedding.
For those who celebrate holidays right around now, I’d like to offer my best wishes for your holidays. May all your dreams come true!

A recent client of mine had a piece of advice for all people getting married. The brief message was this:
Don’t go drinking the night before your wedding. You don’t want to be hung over on your wedding day.
Good advice? You decide. You have it from the horse’s mouth.
I have Agnes Malorny‘s professional photos from the wedding I planned recently at Firehouse Chicago. The other vendors were Dave’s Specialty Foods, Stitely Entertainment, Rev. Rebecca Armstrong, KED Design, and Elite Chicago Limo. Here are a few to whet your appetite. Click on any photo to see all of them.
KED Design’s flowers complemented the orange and purple color scheme. Check out the bride’s shoes in matching colors.
Rev. Rebecca Armstrong performed the lovely ceremony.
Dave’s Specialty Foods provided a delicious dinner buffet.
Here’s the happy couple in front of the Firehouse.

It’s toot-my-horn Monday again. I have another really, really nice review on Yelp. If I don’t tell you all about it, who will? It’s such a good review, that I can’t excerpt it. Here it is in all its glory:
“Lisa was our day-of coordinator for our recent wedding at the Garfield Park conservatory. I can’t recommend her more highly! Lisa is very calming, unpretentious and down to earth, which I really appreciate among all the insanity of the wedding industrial complex. We planned the wedding ourselves but Lisa provided lots of helpful suggestions about vendors, transportation and more. She helped us develop our timeline, ran our rehearsal, coordinated with the other vendors, helped set up before the wedding, kept us on schedule during the event and was there to the very end making sure everything was packed up properly.”
I just planned and coordinated this fabulous, fun, and tasteful wedding. The two women getting married wanted a cute location, simple decor, and helpful, friendly vendors. I found them all of that, and they were more than thrilled with the outcome. I had a great time working on this wedding, too!
The ceremony was in the adorable side yard at Firehouse Chicago.
Here’s the interior of the Firehouse as we were setting up.
It has this great, vintage spiral staircase.
The stupendous bar is part of the package. I don’t know where the old fire extinguisher came from, but I like it!
I snuck this photo while the photographer was taking portraits.
The dinner tables were as simple as possible in comfortable fall colors.
I liked their chalkboard table numbers a lot.
They had drink koozies for favors with special ones for the bridal party.
The card box matched the chalkboard theme.
